I’m sorry for the long wait to see my birthday nails, but I
hope they are worth the wait J.
I was thinking for a long time about what nails I wanted to do to commemorate
my 30th birthday and it wasn’t until a few days before the big day
that I finally settled on the design. My fellow nail lover friend Patty is the
one who suggested I do Grumpy Cat nails, and I can’t think of better nails to
have when turning 30.
I surprised myself with how little flash these nails had but
I ended up liking the solid brown next to the designed nails. For this manicure
I used Sally Hansen CSM Barracuda,
OPI Brisbane Bronze, Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie, and Pompeii Purple, and Orly Liquid Vinyl and White Tips.
Grumpy Cat nails
To create the adorable yet grumpy kitty on my middle finger
I used a corner piece of makeup sponge and sponged on the white first. The triangular
shape of the sponge helped define her ears. I did two layers of the white
before I sponged on the brown; I always forget how much I love this brown!
Nothing says turning 30 like a disgruntled kitty on your middle finger
To get her tiny angry mouth I used my smallest dotting tool
and used a stippling method to tap the color on. My original idea was to put a
party hat on her but she took so long to do that I didn’t want to risk messing
her up. To make it a little more birthday themed I put balloons on my thumb and
pinkie. My right hand has balloons on the pinkie, middle, and thumb.
I can’t believe I missed her at the state fair
I had this manicure when I went to get a facial after my
birthday and I got asked one of my favorite nail questions by the salon lady.
She asked if I paint them before I put them on, I’m sure a loser that I love
being able to say ‘no, actually they are real’. I hope my birthday nails were
worth the wait and that you love Grumpy Cat as much as I do J
